In globalisation and digitalisation, the economy is confronted with new and fast changing conditions. 

Many companies are positioning themselves in this dynamic environment by opening up additional sales channels, tapping into new markets and investing in M&A, for example. The problem is that the development of the company and governance structures is not always in line with the right course for growth.

At the same time, the importance of these structures only grows with the size of the organisation and the complexity of its environment. In addition, crises such as the corona pandemic show us that there are various dependencies between various areas within the business so that it is essential for considerations to be integrated and for different disciplines to work together.    

Our areas of consulting

Exit Readiness

We guide your portfolio company successfully through the exit process.

However, efficient corporate and governance structures are an indispensable success factor not only for overcoming crises, but above all for achieving secure and sustainable growth. Ask yourself the following questions, for example:

  • Do the established internal and external reporting structures fulfil the requirements of modern reporting?
  • Is the performance of the IT environment and the data quality sufficient to grow and fulfil the reporting requirements?
  • Does the company have an effective integrated risk and compliance management system?
  • Are the tax risks known and are they reduced by an effective tax CMS?

What we can do for you

The aspects outlined above only cover a selection of all the relevant topics. We support you in systematically reviewing your internal company processes and governance structures and working with you to identify where professionalisation may be necessary - also with regard to a possible change of shareholder or IPO ("exit readiness").

With our tried-and-tested project approach, the individual building blocks go through three phases:

  • With the help of GAP analyses, we identify potential for improvement in the structures mentioned by comparing the current status of the individual building blocks with a benchmark relevant to you.
  • We work with you to develop efficient solutions for realising the potential for improvement.
  • We support you during implementation.

During the project, we navigate you through the individual phases and always keep an eye on the entire project, i.e. all areas. To do this, we use

  • our many years of project experience and our IT solutions for project management.
  • With our tried-and-tested change management methodology, we also combine technical expertise, professional project management and the necessary intuition to win over all employees involved in the project, involve them in the long term and lead the professionalisation to success.

Your added value

As auditors, we gain an in-depth understanding of the corporate environment and the company's internal processes. This applies in particular to internal and external reporting structures and requirements in the area of finance, but also with regard to corporate organisation such as risk management, the internal control system and compliance management. We use this extensive knowledge and our experience to scrutinise your corporate and governance structures.

Professional internal company processes and governance processes form the basis for the healthy and secure growth of your company and also contribute to increasing the value of the company. Because this is what we offer you:

  • Greater transparency with regard to business development and the associated opportunities and risks.
  • Optimised reporting tailored to your requirements and
  • forward-looking identification and management of risks, regardless of whether they relate to reporting, tax issues, IT security or governance & compliance.
